noindex, follow question

Hi, I found out about using
<META NAME=robots CONTENT="noindex,follow"> in these postings.
My company changed names recently so I changed the domain. I deleted most of the pages in the old domain and I have an automatic "301 moved Permanently" redirect from an error.aspx page along with index.aspx.
However, I have 2 pages that are heavily linked to and have a high google rating. Let's say one of them is www.site.com/product.htm. I want the people finding that page to have a link to the same page on the new server (www.site2.com/product.htm).

Here is what I have set up.

<body>
<META NAME=robots CONTENT="noindex,follow">
<a href="www.exmaple.com/product.htm">Product Page on new server</a><br>
We have changed our name.  Please use the above link to view
our Product page on our new server.  </p>
</body>
</html>

Question 1: Is it okay to have the text AFTER the link in this code?
Question 2: Is it possible to do a response.rediect from a .htm page? I've only done it from a .aspx page. Would I be better off with a redirect?

Any help is appreciated.
